Hi there! 

I’m Kayleigh.

I am so happy you’re here. I’ve been in the photography field now for over 15 years, but photography isn’t my first passion. My passion has always been PEOPLE! 

I spent my academic years earning a BS in Human Development and Family Studies from Indiana University (Hoosier here, born and raised). I was a nanny for several families with small children, a direct service professional assisting individuals living with disabilities, and a volunteer CASA for abused and neglected children before I became a photographer. I've devoted my life and career to combining both my artistic and service minded visions. Now, making art for people in all stages of life is both my business and my passion!

I’m about adventure. I’m about passion. I’m about love and joy. I’m about color. I’m about life.

I’m about people.

I caravan-ed with friends West on a hope and a prayer and landed in Colorado. While it was beautiful and very sunny, it didn’t have that special something in a home I was looking for. So, I went further Westward and landed in Washington in 2013. Having been here for nearly 10 years, I can safely say this is my promised land. I love EVERY single part of this amazing place—yes, even that dreaded constant drizzle!

 
 
 

— Love —

I found the love of my life here in Olympia, Anthony, with our first date at the Olympia Farmer’s market one drizzly afternoon and look at us now! We started a family together a short time later and have a vivacious daughter, Indiana, two pups, 11 cluckin’ backyard hens (I call them my Girl Squad), and two goats.

I’m addicted to coffee and PNW beaches. Exploring this wondrous adventure filled region is how I spend most of my free time! When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me tending to my little backyard farm and nitpicking in my ever expanding garden, binge watching as many true crime podcasts and documentaries I can, and I’ll probably have cheese or something spicy as hell in front of me as a snack!

What People Are Saying

 

“Kayleigh was so amazing to work with from the beginning to the end of the photo shoot process. She was great with our kiddos and made it feel as if we were just having a member of our family take photos. It was so comfortable and smooth. Her pictures did not disappoint - they are beautiful! I cannot wait to schedule another shoot with her. Thanks Kayleigh!”
